Managing Edge Transit Gateway Attachments
An Edge Transit Gateway can be attached to multiple gateways for multi-network, multicloud, and LAN connectivity.
-
For encrypted connectivity across environments like Equinix, Megaport, and Datacenter fabric, you attach an Edge Transit Gateway to another Edge Transit Gateway.
-
For encrypted connectivity to cloud, you attach an Edge Transit Gateway to a Transit Gateway.
-
For encrypted connectivity to remote Datacenter or on-premises, you attach An Edge Transit Gateway to an Edge Spoke Gateway.
Creating an Edge Transit Gateway to Edge Transit Gateway Attachment
| If you want to use Jumbo Frames for the attachment peering connection between the Edge Gateways, make sure to enable Jumbo Frames on the Edge Gateways before you create the attachment. |
To attach an Edge Transit Gateway to another Edge Transit Gateway:
-
In Aviatrix CoPilot, go to Cloud Fabric > Hybrid Cloud > Edge Gateways > Transit Gateways tab.
-
Locate the Edge Transit Gateway to which you want to attach another gateway, then click the Manage Gateway Attachments icon on the right side of the row.
-
In Manage Gateway Attachments > Transit Gateway tab, click + Attachment and provide the following information.
